'Funtastic Friday' at the 'Botanic'
Carmarthenshire County Council is supporting Action for Children as it hosts a ‘Funtastic Friday’ family event at the Botanic Gardens during half-term week.
There will be plenty of child-friendly activities during the annual event, from 10am-3pm on Friday, October 28.
Over 2,000 people enjoyed last year’s ‘Thrilling Thursday’ event, but this year’s event promises to be extra special, as it also marks 100 years of Action for Children in Wales.
Special guests from S4C’s children’s programmes will be there, including chef Anthony Evans.
There will also be a host of information stalls from family support organisations, including Sure Start, Plant Dewi and Tenovus.
New for this year, Action for Children has teamed up with Barclays Bank, which is working with staff to help deliver a money skills programme to local families.
Barclays has sponsored the event, and will be holding a competition for children to design a Bank of Wales £100 note.
Parenting Project Worker Paul Andrews said: “There’ll be lots of fun activities for children of all ages. We were overwhelmed by how many people joined us last year, and we hope this year will be better than ever.”
Families can arrange transport though their local family centres. For more information visit www.actionforchildren.org.uk
